I have to locate files in a certain directory that were created on or after a specific date The director has lots of subdirectories, so it would be very time consuming to do a windows explorer sort in each subdirectory.

Is there a utility or easy way to do this?

Thanks,
Len

Don't know what operating system you have. Here is a link for searching in Win 7.

Stapp -

Nice article - thank you.

Actually, my OS is XP. Frankly, I forgot about the options available in the search function - one of which is to specify a date range for last modification. The article reminded me. That's really all I need.

Again, thank you for the quick response and jostling my memory.
